Nikolic was forced to resign only hours before Serifovic's plane landed from Helsinki. Soon after her return, Serifovic became the object of a parliamentary debate, as legislators from various parties each claimed her support. "Marija Serifovic and her mother Verica both endorsed our party during the [January] election campaign," claimed Rajko Djuric, a chairman of the Serbian Roma Union, a party representing ethnic gypsies.

The Reader is a sleek, soigné little object--you can almost sense it trying to look literary, as though it should come with a decanter of sherry as a USB peripheral. Although it's slightly smaller and thinner than a trade paperback, one Sony Reader can hold about 80 average-length novels...

Whereas George stood firm and true against the prevailing political winds, Mitt seems as if he can dress himself as a politician for any season.
